Is there a way to turn the mp3 player off completely so it doesen't drain the battery when you aren't using it?

Mine does not drain the battery, between uses. The secret is to lock the keys (with the switch on the side). If you do not touch the buttons when it has shut down, the battery will not drain. At least mine doesn't

Press the option button. hold it for a few seconds. the amount of power drain after that is next to nothing.

As far as I know there isn't. However, the battery doesn't drain all that fast unless you have a defective model.

Yeah, there is a power off button, you just push it down till it turns off, then on the right of the mp3 player there is a little switch that says HOLD, you push it up.That way even if you accidently turn on the mp3 player it won't turn on until you push that HOLD switch back down.

There is a power off button and also if sitting idle it will shut off in a few seconds.

Yes, you can turn this Sony mp3 player completely off buy holding down the option button. After the screen displays "OFF", slide the "Hold" button up. This will keep the player from coming on when buttons are accidently pressed. It's a great mp3 player with a good long battery life. I have never had a problem out of it. It's totally worth the price. Just remember that if you want to make a playlist do it using the "Bookmark" feature.

I've never had a problem turning mine off. It goes a long time with the battery charge on the computer. Audiophile Ann

Sure can! I have done it many times - charging while playing. If I want to do a straight charge with no playing going on, I will remove the flash drive and then plug in the charging cable - the light comes on both the blinking light and the screen light. I turn off the blinking light and when the screen light starts blinking the mini speaker is fully charged. I have experienced no problems with my mini speaker - hope this helps you.

Yes this is an option in one of the menus. This can be turned on and off. If you use the GPS it does use the battery a little more then if you don't use it.

I am not sure about the first question, but my MP3 player will run continuously. The volume control is a 'real knob' function, which can be adjusted by the remote. The volume does not change on loss of power.

Yes, but easily holds a charge for 2 days with heavy use, probably a week with lighter use. A speaker that pulls energy from your device is going to make you need to charge the device more often, even ear buds. These little speakers put out a relatively big sound for their tiny size, they don't need to drain your MP3 player in the process.

I don't think you turn it off, but when it's not in GPS mode, the battery lasts a very long time.

No it does not save the place on a mp3 when power is off only when power is on and unit is turned on

Yes it will turn off to a "standby" mode after disuse, and then turn on again when airplay request to play. Note that if left indefinitely under battery power only, the battery will eventually run down and it won't be able to turn on when airplay sends request.

To shut off the player you have to hit pause first and then when the hold page comes up hit the hold button until it shows see you later power off on the screen . It takes several seconds.

Yes the unit can be turned off by pressing on the button on top of the device. Also runs on rechargeable batteries. Or you cAn just turn off the Bluetooth off your media.

turn off bluetooth and all unnecessary programs running in the background...download a free program from the play store that does this for you , try battery saver app etc...

No, I keep mine plugged in whenever I'm not using it and it still plays for 7 hours or more on battery.

Hi adrian, I looked through the owner's manual and it has a setting that is a timer to turn off your music.

Don't think it can be turned off--but it's a display like on a digital watch; it won't drain the battery for a long time. One note on the batteries on this radio, however, you can re-charge rechargeable batteries in it, but it doesn't happen automatically you have to set it and it takes like 20 hours. I usually just leave mine 12 or so and it's fine, but I may be shortening the life of the battery to do so. Mostly, I am happy with this radio.

I've never run the battery down all the way. I've listened to music for about two hours at a time. Not sure beyond that.

There's a Hi/Low switch inside the battery compartment that turns the volume down. I don't know if the sound can be turned off completely.

You have to unplug it from the phone or mp3 player but not from the clock directly
